Go to quilter's cache and look at the braid quilt pattern.
The difference is that as you piece, rather than overlapping the two pieces, you put a square at the end and the attach the next piece. There is a book of French Braid quilts available... but this seems pretty easy to figure out.... You might want the book/pattern if you don't want to figure out yardages, etc.

In my on going quest to complete what I started and to thank all who jumped in to quide me, Thank you. But, guess what I found. I was rooting through magazines.. none leave this house, and I had two I had forgotten about in the little carry pack on the back of my walker. One of them was/is AQM display until August 6 th 2010. page 56. It's the patchwork braids and it has a template for the braid of which I have already cut out, identified and am going to pull fabrics tomorrow. It even has the web bous to make the coordinating pillow cases. I think between all of, we have a complete catalog of "the braid" much thanks and blessings,
Blue
